You should probably write this as a blog post or readme and submit the link instead. I can't provide any technical feedback since I don't even understand what a row is in this context. I don't have "strategic planning&q

standard library assumes a stack exists, a heap exists, and that main() is called A small assembly stub can set up the stack and heap and call main(); from then on you can run Rust code. The other topics you mention are definitely legitim

Original link: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/opinion/openai-ai-bubble-... This is pretty normal for a fast-growing startup, although OpenAI may be the largest to ever do it.

The HN submission/curation system stopped working years ago and nothing has been done or will be done about it. It's just a lottery now.

That's not the issue. Some people are saying that the outputs of AI are not copyrightable at all.

So you can see more detail but you aren't fitting more photos on the screen.

The talk about AI being uncopyrightable is mostly cope from AI haters. The default assumption is going to be that everything is copyrighted because some human creativity was used somewhere in the process. To actually claim that something is

A few days ago people were replying to every image on Twitter saying "Grok, put him/her/it in a bikini" and Grok would just do it. It was minimum effort, maximum damage trolling and people loved it.

Denser pixels are worth less because you can't see them; in this case 3x-4x less.

Not really. The Dell is 6144x2560 @ 1x while the Apple is effectively 3008x1692. The Dell can fit much more content on the screen.

Is it using Servo's layout code or did Cursor write its own layout? That's one of the hardest parts.

It's not clear that Italy wants anything banned globally.

Cloudflare is an ISP operating in Italy. If you want IP blocking instead of DNS blocking the results will be even worse.

Pirate sites are probably hosted in places where they can't really be sued.

This is probably for privacy. If all four go to the hospital you can't tell which one is sick.

VPN blocking is coming next.

Zero knowledge cryptography could work here. You can prove you're over 18 without revealing your age or prove you're in France without revealing anything else. VPN providers might not be skilled enough to implement it though.

Because they are extremely loud, consume 8-10 kW, and probably cost $20K used.

Do you need pirate live streams that badly?

They're not just doing DNS blocking. Spain is doing IP blocking and other countries will follow.

You can't run those at home.

the distributed, protocol‑based, client/server model that enables remote graphics, composability, and implementation diversity This mostly sounds like Wayland to me. Anyway, build it.

That may not be a good example because everyone is saying Groq isn't worth $20B.

It's JSON parsing which is a real-world task although one that only amounts for a small amount of runtime. It is using AVX-512. Most code doesn't benefit from SIMD but the speedups can be huge for code that does benefit. I like Ge

Dumping responsibility on "the community" could backfire in a big way. It sounds good at small scale but it becomes a form of entitlement if the whole industry does it.
